Effective with this post, this blog will end. I have stepped down as Chairman of the Illinois Modern Whig Party; not because I do not support the Modern Whigs, but because I cannot give the party the time or funding necessary to make the Illinois Modern Whig party a viable contender in the state.
I will continue to support the party and work for them if and whenever asked, but I am no longer going to serve as the chairman.
However, as a person who does not know when to shut up, I have started a new blog which will continue to focus on my efforts to spread my message against those who would destroy the U.S. Constitution, and all it represents.
The website will be "whig" based, but not affiliated with the Modern Whig Party. Please join me on my move to the new blog site - LincolnWhig.blogspot.com

I Am Not A Liberal!
Remember the good ole days when American's were proud, hard working and principled? Remember when Ronald Reagan led us into an era of patriotism and prosperity? Remember how he was able to tell the truth and win praise from 90% of America, at his highest point?
Ronald Reagan told Americans that it was good to be free; and it was good to work for what you have. He also taught us that it was okay to be poor, I mean truly poor...eating home cooked meals made from scratch; playing with toys made from old newspapers; watching black and white television through static; while friends had color television and a fancy antenna; and later, cable tv. He taught me that, as with his childhood, I was "poor but did not know it". He taught us that "poor" was neither a disease nor a handicap and did not require pity from anyone. Ronald Reagan taught us that expecting the government to carry us through life was wrong. It was a life style which defined the American Liberal; it was not American!
By contrast, striving to build a good life through hard work, integrity and faith in God is what defined a true American, from the founding of our nation. It was defined as conservatism. It mandated a government which did not intrude into the lives of American citizens. It provided for a government that worked for, not depended on, it's citizens.
Over the past few months however, I have began noticing bumper stickers which proudly state, "Not a Conservative", or "Not a Republican". At first glance, I thought to myself, when the "Not a liberal" bumperstickers were popular 3 decades ago, people displayed them with pride and most people agreed with the message. Today however, with the anti-conservative bumperstickers, I could not help but think these people appear foolish. After all, they are boasting beliefs which are nothing close to what America is all about.
Then I see bumperstickers which boast, "Jesus was a liberal" or "Jesus was a democrat". This may be an opinion, but I find it blasphemous. Jesus believed that man should help his brother's and sister's who cannot help themselves, but I have not read anything which would lead me to believe that our Lord and Savior agrees with the pro-choice crowd, or the masses who would have other people work hard and give everything to the government, so the lazy could last for generations without working a single day - taking and taking, while giving nothing back. As I see it, my life and what I do is the assignment I am given when I was put on earth. My body and all that is physically "me", is on loan from God. As such, it is my responsibility to take the best care of his property that I can. While I am ashamed that I have not taken the best care of this body, I try to work hard and I try to take care of myself as best I can as a weak servant. I also try to never take advantage of or abuse this gift. To be a sloth is to commit one of the 7 deadly sins.
As we watch our president make his rounds this past week, he has encouraged people to take advantage of the "free" gifts of the government - food, insurance, welfare and so forth. The president has justified and continues to justify not only the sin of sloth, but the sin of greed and envy as well; and he does this with purpose. In a speech to young people in a college today, the president vilified the Republicans and cited our philosophical differences. It was not that long ago that our nation's leader would never paint a group negatively for trying to cut spending. In fact, when Obama served his single and part-time term on the senate, he called George W Bush a traitor. He said that George Bush was UN-patriotic for spending so carelessly. If this is true, how are we to characterize Obama, who has outspent George W. Bush, 3 to 1? Using Obama's words, this would make him (Obama), three times the traitor, which by all measures is punishable by forfeiting his citizenship or imprisonment or firing squad.
As responsible citizens, we are faced with this cancer, which is deadly to democracy. As responsible citizens, it is our job to educate the masses. To teach the young people that it is wrong to take a bite from the poison Obama apple.
Many people feel this is a temporary hiccup in our system of government, which will pass when Obama ends his final term in 2016. What these people do not realize is that once you give people something for free, it will become an expectation of the government. Once we become accustomed to the "free" goods, it will be impossible to change back. Today versus only 8 years ago, the number of people on food stamps have tripled, reaching the highest level in history. Over the past year, in a very affluent area in the western suburbs of Chicago, a school district reports that participation in the free lunch program has increased from about 12% to over 30%. I was told that the school is calling the parents and telling them to sign a paper, allowing the school to give free food, adding that parents are sometimes reluctant. In other words, the government is forcing the schools to push free lunch or lose funding all together.
Today, by ratio, more people are on some form of welfare than at anytime in our nation's history. Worse yet, according to the census bureau; for the first time ever, there are more people collecting "means based" aid from the government, than there are people working a full time job. Even worse, these facts are based on a 2 year old census. It is likely that the trend not only continued, but I fear the margin of takers to givers has widened in favor of the takers.
Obama is out on the campaign trail, blaming all of the nation's problems on the Republicans and the government shut down. The government is painting progressiveness and liberalism as a good thing, encouraging people to "hit the streets" to increase participation in Obamacare, ala "Hitler Youth"! He calls it "Team Obamacare"!
If you find yourself leaning toward "giving in" to the growing trend, you should splash some water on your face and maybe slap yourself a few times. It is your responsibility as an American, as it is mine; to begin working the trail and getting the word out that liberalism is not only bad, but just plain deadly to our democracy. We need to instill that sense of pride that Ronald Reagan taught us. We need to teach people that conservative thinking is better for everyone, not just the rich. Using every medium available - Facebook, You_Tube, Twitter, whatever; we need to teach the young people that it is only through the success of the rich, that jobs are created. When was the last time that a poor person hired people?
It is time to revive the true idea of American democracy. It is time to speak up and speak out. It is time for each of us to echo the words and beliefs of Ted Cruz. It is time to stop accepting the liberal way as the acceptable way. It is time to declare loudly and with pride that you too, are not a liberal.

You Can Lead A Horse To Water...
But you cannot stop a horses ass from unloading all over the place. Such is the diarrhea we have been drowning in since the media circus began yesterday. And there were enough horse asses to last a lifetime.
Ass number one, our illustrious senator, Dick Durbin. This moron makes horse crap smell good. He was telling America how the republicans will destroy a recovering economy if they close government. He could hardly say it with a straight face. He struggled to call it a "recovering" economy and to convince himself, he had to say it a couple times, "the economy is slowly recovering", he assured himself.
Of course, Harry Reid is such a horses ass and spews so much, let's call it, unpleasantness, that even flies stay away from him. I am so sick of hearing his lies that I can bring myself to repeat them. It has grown tiresome.
Then there is the Commander in Chief of the horses asses. Every campaigning, today he repeated his ridiculous lie again, telling the county how (not verbatim), we have worked hard to overcome crises from previous administrations, and they want to throw us back into a new made-up crisis. This on the same day retailers announced a disappointing back to school shopping season and are preparing for an equally disappointing Halloween and Christmas. None-the-less, every time he told us how he guided us out of the previous administration's crisis, I had to ask myself, how? Where? When? From all indications, the economic recover is anemic at best, non-existent at most.
Now, when he refers to the previous administration, if he is talking about his last four years, well that would not be a lie. Otherwise, he is pathetically still blaming George W. Bush. This alone would be enough to win him the golden pacifier award.
For those who are warming up to this tool because Bill Clinton supports him? Remember, Hillary will run in 2016 and these equally morally bankrupt, comic book characters will want Obama's support when she runs. As for Bill, we already know what he is and based on his, under the desk activities, we also know his price...and it is not very high.
So GOP leaders, you know what to do, if you choose not to do the right thing, you already know you will take the blame for EVERYTHING that goes wrong and you know you will seal the fate of the 2014 election and you know you are likely to give up the 2016 election. In short, you are every bit as responsible for the destruction of the United States as Obama and his galloping goof balls.
For anyone who would question my patriotism, I will say this...I love my country! The United States of America! I love what this country stands for - our Constitution, our history and our freedom. I do not love or support what one president, 100 senators, 435 state representatives, 8 supreme court justices and one chief justice in 2013, are doing to our country. It is wrong, IT is not patriotic, IT is not American!
In short, you can lead these horses to water and push them in but the stink will not go away.

Sorry, We're Closed!
So Ted Cruz spent more than 21 hours telling the nation why Obamacare is bad. He also took a lot of heat for doing this from members of both parties. The sad thing is, if the Republican party had taken a more aggressive position from the start, we wouldn't be in this position today. Since 2006, conservatives have been beaten down by the left and by the media through lies, misrepresentations and false accusations. Through it all, the conservative leadership has taken a passive approach by either responding to charges with a wimpy response or not responding at all.
With increasing frequency, the left is rewriting history in an effort to make republicans and conservatives appear evil. Over the past several weeks, I have heard politicians, radio hosts (and callers); and even the president; describe Ronald Reagan as a president who gave the rich all the breaks at the expense of the middle class. Our college age voters today did not know Ronald Reagan. They did not know that he led the country out of the worst economy in our nations history, until now; and into the longest economic expansion in our nations history. College students today do not know that the lifestyles of all Americans, poor to rich, drastically improved because of the economic policies of the Reagan administration.
Just this past week, republicans in congress were compared to terrorists with "bombs strapped to their chests". This, in response to the republicans refusing to pass the finance bill with a rubber stamp. Obama, Pelosi, Carney and others have said over and over, how they will not negotiate... Now, if any republican president or lawmaker would have said this, he or she would have already been kicked out of Washington. If a republican president said he would not negotiate, he would have been smeared throughout the nation and the world. In fact, Ronald Reagan's success could only be attributed to his ability to bring the two sides together and LEAD them to a compromised resolution. Lead and compromise, two words which cannot be used to describe Obama. One other interesting observation is how Obama repeatedly says, "we will not negotiate..." Is there a connection or a play on words since George HW Bush said, "we will not negotiate with terrorists".
Obama, supposedly in his final term, has attacked conservatives, Christians, Fox News, and everyone else he has disdain for, which is anyone who does not agree with him. Can anyone remember Ronald Reagan personally attacking the citizens he was supposed to be representing? Reagan was elected by 60% of the population, but he was president to all Americans, Obama is president to himself and the people he chooses to help; gang bangers, Islamic extremists and Hollywood.
So back to the topic at hand, do republicans allow government to close on October 1? Have they learned nothing from the sequester, when Obama closed public parks and anything else which would attract attention of the media? Allowing government to close would mean one of two things, either republicans are working on Obama's behalf, or they are incredibly stupid. A closed government would be the best thing that could happen to this administration as it would guarantee a democratic blowout in 2014, a veto-proof repeal of the 22nd amendment and a guarantee of the total destruction of the American form of government.
If the government were to close, anything further that would go wrong with the country or Obamacare, would be blamed on the republicans closing government. Heck, Obama is still blaming George W Bush for the economy today. Is it really too complicated for these guys to figure out? This past week, Obama said he would not let republicans reverse all of his accomplishments. You see, here he is positioning himself to blame EVERYTHING on republicans, particularly since he has accomplished nothing. The republicans must not play into his wicked hand.
The correct way to play this hand is very simple. You've made your point, now let the bill through and let the sparks fly. Following the passage of this poison pill, republican leadership must be in front of cameras everyday, telling America how their lives are worse because of (fill in stupid Obama plan here). When Obama says, well you voted for it, the republican lawmaker can say how he voted against it before he voted for it. Apparently, this is a way to erase stupid decisions politicians make. After-all, John Kerry used this as his anti Iraq war position.
Like all other crazyness we are seeing today, history tends to repeat itself. Today we are watching the implosion of the republican party because they cannot take a position or a stand. Strangely enough, it was idealogical incompetence of the Whig party in 1856 which caused Lincoln to join the new Republican party. This Tuesday, we may very well see the beginning of the end of the republican party. In other words, if the "Sorry, We're Closed" goes up, republicans better start posting in the "Positions Wanted" section of the newspaper.

Is It Time To Give Up?
Several days ago, I had an opportunity to listen to the Dennis Miller Show on 560AM, WIND, in Chicago. Though I do not get the opportunity to listen very often, I have always enjoyed Dennis Miller for his intellectual humor; and since his show was added to the WIND lineup, for his political points of view. From time to time however, I have had reason to question some of Dennis' positions. Occasionally, these "questionable" points of view have given me reason to re-think my positions.
On this particular day, a caller questioned Dennis' attitude toward the president of late. The caller felt that Dennis has taken a laid back position, arguing that if Dennis was practically required by virtue of his celebrity, to fight for the conservative cause. The caller was essentially telling Dennis that if he were not a part of the solution, by default he would become part of the problem. I agreed with the caller as I have been telling everyone that we are not fixing anything by ignoring everything this president is doing to destroy our country.
Dennis respectfully disagreed with the caller, reasoning that none of the garbage this president is doing, is worth taking minutes from his life. Dennis observed that he was becoming angry all the time and he did not like the way it felt. He said that he would not give the president this much power over his life, allowing the president to determine when or whether Dennis would be happy. Dennis said he respected the caller's opinion but did not feel the president was worth the energy.
Dennis next began reasoning about how the president was elected twice by a overwhelming majority, indicating that as a nation, our priorities have changed. He believed that this is the president and the desires of the current generation. This is the part that caught my attention. This is the part that made me stop and think. Afterall, my generation had Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan represented and was a reflection of my generation.
The ideals of my generation were personal accountability; hard work equals rewards; peace through strength; respect for the law and love of country. We were a nation of doers, takers were the exception. The nation was united under Ronald Reagan and while people may not have liked other people who were different, most people respected those who were different. It was during this period in our history that I believe we made our strongest gains in racial relations.
Today's generation is made up of victims. Everyone is a victim of somebody - blacks are victims of business and hispanic vigilantes; gays are victims of conservatives, women are victims of men, hispanics are victims of whites, elderly are victims of big business, those who do not have are victims of those who have. Each day on the news, there are stories of how one group or another is being victimized by someone. This is in complete contrast to the Reagan philosophy.
Because we are victims, we believe the government owes us. The government owes us healthcare, food, housing and a college education among many other things. Now who will pay for this? The government! Who is the government? Each of us are the government, however the "haves" are the people who are funding the government since the "have-nots" do not pay taxes. Broken down to the lowest common denominator, much of this generation believes the "haves" should pay the way for the have-nots.
This way of thinking has been created by an administration which has mastered the art of divisiveness. This administration has taught our youth that rich people have become rich by taking from the poor and middle class. They have used this argument to convince the new generation that government is far more qualified to make financial decisions then those who actually earn the wages. This again, is in contrast to the Reagan philosophy. Ronald Reagan believed that government is not the solution to our problems and he believed that citizens, you and I; were much more capable than government, of making our own financial decisions.
Our Constitution gives us the rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Constitution does not guarantee the right to a home or healthcare or even food. It does however, grant each of us the right to "pursue" each of these things if we truly want or need them. We can pursue our happiness through hard work or through begging or by stealing. During the Reagan years, or through my generation, we were taught to obtain what we need or desire through hard work; a lesson taught to us by our parents and our government leaders. The idea of begging or stealing was discouraged and/or punished.
The generation of today has been taught that working for what they need or want is unfair. There is a certain pride associated with dependency, to the extent that parents can now carry their children on their healthcare insurance well into their 20's. This generation has even made begging fashionable as we see someone holding a sign at virtually every off ramp or major intersection. Stealing is virtually revered as we tend to idolize celebrities who are caught stealing. Gift giving during holidays is not a consideration or an option, but an expectation. While as children, my generation was taught to be grateful for any gift we received, today, any gift we give must not fall below an unwritten minimum; and while cash is preferred, gift cards are acceptable.
So, as I think about what Dennis Miller said on his show, I agree it would be much better to lose the anger because I do not the way it feels. However, I disagree that this is the decision of the new generation and it is their turn at bat. If people took this position during the transitional points of our nation's development, I wonder where we would be today? In fact, I believe it was our leadership which had people striving to achieve their dreams during the 1980's. It was leadership which united us as a nation after the attack on New York in 2001. While leadership had taken us to great heights in past generations, the lack of leadership has created the atmosphere of dependency and malaise we are experiencing today.
To sit back and let things happen, will not fix the problems with our young generation. Becoming vocal and teaching our young people that our nation is only as good as the people allow it to be and as strong as we make it; this, and only this will fix the problems over time. We owe this not only to future generations, but more importantly, to those who sacrificed over the past 237 years.
On this particular day, a caller questioned Dennis' attitude toward the president of late. The caller felt that Dennis has taken a laid back position, arguing that if Dennis was practically required by virtue of his celebrity, to fight for the conservative cause. The caller was essentially telling Dennis that if he were not a part of the solution, by default he would become part of the problem. I agreed with the caller as I have been telling everyone that we are not fixing anything by ignoring everything this president is doing to destroy our country.
Dennis respectfully disagreed with the caller, reasoning that none of the garbage this president is doing, is worth taking minutes from his life. Dennis observed that he was becoming angry all the time and he did not like the way it felt. He said that he would not give the president this much power over his life, allowing the president to determine when or whether Dennis would be happy. Dennis said he respected the caller's opinion but did not feel the president was worth the energy.
Dennis next began reasoning about how the president was elected twice by a overwhelming majority, indicating that as a nation, our priorities have changed. He believed that this is the president and the desires of the current generation. This is the part that caught my attention. This is the part that made me stop and think. Afterall, my generation had Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan represented and was a reflection of my generation.
The ideals of my generation were personal accountability; hard work equals rewards; peace through strength; respect for the law and love of country. We were a nation of doers, takers were the exception. The nation was united under Ronald Reagan and while people may not have liked other people who were different, most people respected those who were different. It was during this period in our history that I believe we made our strongest gains in racial relations.
Today's generation is made up of victims. Everyone is a victim of somebody - blacks are victims of business and hispanic vigilantes; gays are victims of conservatives, women are victims of men, hispanics are victims of whites, elderly are victims of big business, those who do not have are victims of those who have. Each day on the news, there are stories of how one group or another is being victimized by someone. This is in complete contrast to the Reagan philosophy.
Because we are victims, we believe the government owes us. The government owes us healthcare, food, housing and a college education among many other things. Now who will pay for this? The government! Who is the government? Each of us are the government, however the "haves" are the people who are funding the government since the "have-nots" do not pay taxes. Broken down to the lowest common denominator, much of this generation believes the "haves" should pay the way for the have-nots.
This way of thinking has been created by an administration which has mastered the art of divisiveness. This administration has taught our youth that rich people have become rich by taking from the poor and middle class. They have used this argument to convince the new generation that government is far more qualified to make financial decisions then those who actually earn the wages. This again, is in contrast to the Reagan philosophy. Ronald Reagan believed that government is not the solution to our problems and he believed that citizens, you and I; were much more capable than government, of making our own financial decisions.
Our Constitution gives us the rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The Constitution does not guarantee the right to a home or healthcare or even food. It does however, grant each of us the right to "pursue" each of these things if we truly want or need them. We can pursue our happiness through hard work or through begging or by stealing. During the Reagan years, or through my generation, we were taught to obtain what we need or desire through hard work; a lesson taught to us by our parents and our government leaders. The idea of begging or stealing was discouraged and/or punished.
The generation of today has been taught that working for what they need or want is unfair. There is a certain pride associated with dependency, to the extent that parents can now carry their children on their healthcare insurance well into their 20's. This generation has even made begging fashionable as we see someone holding a sign at virtually every off ramp or major intersection. Stealing is virtually revered as we tend to idolize celebrities who are caught stealing. Gift giving during holidays is not a consideration or an option, but an expectation. While as children, my generation was taught to be grateful for any gift we received, today, any gift we give must not fall below an unwritten minimum; and while cash is preferred, gift cards are acceptable.
So, as I think about what Dennis Miller said on his show, I agree it would be much better to lose the anger because I do not the way it feels. However, I disagree that this is the decision of the new generation and it is their turn at bat. If people took this position during the transitional points of our nation's development, I wonder where we would be today? In fact, I believe it was our leadership which had people striving to achieve their dreams during the 1980's. It was leadership which united us as a nation after the attack on New York in 2001. While leadership had taken us to great heights in past generations, the lack of leadership has created the atmosphere of dependency and malaise we are experiencing today.
To sit back and let things happen, will not fix the problems with our young generation. Becoming vocal and teaching our young people that our nation is only as good as the people allow it to be and as strong as we make it; this, and only this will fix the problems over time. We owe this not only to future generations, but more importantly, to those who sacrificed over the past 237 years.

Numbers Don't Lie!
Listening to the news over the past few days, I learned that for yet another month, unemployment fell. It is now as 7.4%, if you listen to the White House. But is there anyone still listening to the White House anymore?
Throughout the five plus years of the man pissing all over our Constitution and our citizens, month after month, I have listened to the same bull. Today we report lower unemployment for the most recent month and in the side notes, there is a nearly obscure blurb about how the previous month's numbers were "revised up". The democrats strategy has been to put out what they want the people to believe today, and apologize for the mistake later. In fact, we are a stupid people and we only remember the first story, never the revision or retraction. I wonder though, why is it that I am the only one who sees this?
Enough with the lies! Let's dissect the numbers in real life. The government said unemployment fell in July. What they forgot to mention is that fewer jobs were created than expected. Of the new jobs we heard the president boasting about, 75% of them were part-time. In fact, since 2008, about 3/4 of all jobs created, and there were not too many, were part-time.
What the President and his people also failed to mention is that the unemployment rate does not include people who fell off the rolls. Remember, the endless unemployment of Obama's last term is now limited, so each month, more and more people stop collecting unemployment and therefore, fall off the rolls.
What also was not mentioned is that people who simply gave up searching for work, are no longer counted. This would be your 55 and up crowd who may have enough saved to take a chance on letting their savings carry them to retirement. Many of these people are now empty nesters, with the house paid for and no longer need the career or the income of their previous life. They are among the people who take the part-time Home Depot jobs which Obama was bragging about.
The last thing that was not mentioned is how our former servicemen and women are no longer counted on the unemployment rolls when they are discharged and left to their own survival skill. This, by the way, was initiated under our previous Democratic President. Funny how the Dems put our hero's out of work without benefits of any kind, but conservatives are portrayed as the heartless.
At the end of the day, the real unemployment is actually closer to 18%. It may sound harsh, but it is true. The people working 20 - 25 hours are not earning a livable wage and should not be counted as working. But the most disturbing part of this is that as Obamacare takes effect, more companies will eliminate full time jobs and replace them with part-time help. I am not saying anything new. This is not a revelation. I just have to wonder, does anyone else see this? Most of this information is available on the DOL website. To arrive at the correct number, you will need to do extensive research as the administration has done it's best to hide information under every rock they find, but after the work is done, you will see the numbers don't lie.

Look to Your Left, Then to Your Right...
Then grab your gun. In another unthinkable move by this incompetent and in my opinion, felonious administration; the EEOC decided that General Dollar Stores and US BMW, were practicing racism by performing background checks on potential employees.
It appears, the EEOC feels that because "blacks are more likely to be convicted"..., it is unfair to perform background checks as it gives whites and other's a disproportionate advantage. WOW, who is really being racist? If any other administration made a statement such as this, the media would have a field day. In this case however, I would like to hear the media call this for what it is; ultimate Obama divisiveness! This is literally the Obama administration pitting blacks against, well, everyone else and it is criminal! In this one statement, this administration has done more to divide the races, than anything else he has done thus far. The sad thing is, he is not done yet. Further, anyone who believes this is not part of a greater, more deviate plan, needs to get their head out of his ass! If you have not learned this by now with the "Scandal of the day", you're brain dead!
All of the news is not bad though; it's true, you may now be murdered or raped by a new co-worker, which is terrible, but will become a very real threat in the future. The good news however, in keeping with his dangerous track record, is that the victims or their survivors; will still be able to sue the employer because a court will rule that despite the laws against background checks, the employee should have known and should have put steps in place to protect the employees.
I know this notion may sound ridiculous, but it is not much different than the regulation stating that employers may not question an applicant's legal residency status or the paperwork they present, but will face stiff fines if they hire undocumented aliens, reasoning that the "employer knowingly, or should have known"... Combine this with the blatant corruption which defines this administration and nothing should surprise anyone.
I have been warning of the limitless madness of this man before he was first elected. My message has not changed, but the warnings are becoming more critical. I feared our great nation would be driven to it's knees. I warned we would be reduced to a third world status (or well on our way). I dare anyone to challenge me on the speed at which we are racing for the cliff.
The future of our nation as we know it is in pearl. As we approach the celebration of our independence in a couple weeks, we do so with arguably, the most corrupt, the most criminal and the most evil executive branch this nation has ever seen, with a legislative branch dealing to sell their soul.
In my 32 years of voting eligibility, I have never distrusted our government as much as I do today. I no longer take the news we are getting from the government at face value. I questioned the integrity of the news about the videographer during the Benghazi invasion. I said he would be arrested and never heard from again. So far, I am on the mark. He was put in jail and nobody has heard from him since.
With the ever growing mysteries and scandals which have come to define this administration, I now question the guilt of the Boston bombing suspects. I hate to feel like this because I love my country and I hate to think our leader would have less integrity than a terrorist, but this is Obama's legacy.
I am now listening to stories about Snowden and how he leaked NSA information. He is being called both, a hero and a traitor. Frankly, I cannot pick a side here either. I can only say that some of our forefathers were called traitors because they called the King of England out on the carpet. Everything about the NSA story, everything, stinks to high heaven. As with every other unbelievable-but-true tale that is told about Obama's presidency, the President didn't know anything, but should have known. Unlike with the INS rules about checking paperwork, in this case, the President definitely should have known!
If we survive as a nation, I predict this President will be charged and convicted of treason. We will never get back all that we lost during the years of Obamism. Our innocence will be gone forever and the scars will be deep, but the day Obama is sentenced by Congress, we will celebrate the strength and resilience of our Constitution!
God Bless America! God Save America!

Hey! Can Anybody Hear Me??? C'mon, It's Not Funny!
I recall watching a TV show or a movie where a person died on the operating table. They started shouting things like, Why isn't anybody listening to me? Why is everyone sad? Can anybody hear me? It could have been the Twilight Zone, M*A*S*H or Bugs Bunny. The show is not important, it is the message that I am writing about today.
As of today we have entered the sequestration phase of Obama's plan and yes, it is an orchestrated plan. Today, I write this post and wonder if I am wasting my time, as I have for the past 4 years. I feel like that person on the operating table. I can see and hear everyone, but they cannot hear me. They pull a sheet over my head. In their eyes, I am dead.
I have talked with people who believe Obama is like any other President before him, "suck it up!", they tell me, "he is no different than the rest.", they continue, "They're all crooks!" ; and"In four years, he will be done." Though I have only listened to his show a few times, I heard Michael Medved say something like this on his show yesterday.
This type of garbage is spewed by Obama's opposition every day. I do not know if anyone has the guts to tell the truth on national radio or television. It is almost as though our talk hosts and journalists have been threatened with their lives or worse. Everybody has been afraid to tell the emperor that he is not wearing any clothes.
This budget debate has been more than disgusting to watch. We have a liberal President and Senate who have refused to make a single compromise. When the Republicans agreed, during the equally tiresome fiscal cliff debate, to concede on taxes, it was on the condition that taxes would not be on the table during this debate. Once again, the democrats refuse to budge on spending and demand only that Republicans increase taxes.
The Republicans hold firm on their position, so the President stands before the country and tells us that the Republicans are taking food out of the mouths of babies, kicking the elderly and disabled to the curb and even the Democrats best friends at AARP have produced commercials, bashing the Republican plan to cut SSI payments to the wealthy elderly, who frankly, do not need the money. To hear AARP (and the President) tell the story, your parents, living on $1000 per month will have their benefits cut. The President, AARP and most everyone else knows this is not true. In fact, Mitt Romney warned that the President would use scare tactics on the American people.
This would not affect Obama's definition of wealthy, which based on the hit I took in January, includes me. It would include the retire at 50 and by a yacht, wealthy. It's no wonder though that AARP supports the President considering they stand to gain the most by the President's plans. They are funded primarily, by the government that you pay for.
I also heard Michael Steele, the former National Chairman of the Republican Party, as he spoke of how he does not understand why Obama is grandstanding, since he cannot run for office again. Is everybody afraid to tell the truth or has the President made lying so fashionable that it just is not cool to tell the truth anymore. Honestly Mr. Steele, you are not that ignorant. This is all part of the Obama plan. Some might (and will) say that Obama is a genius, but in keeping with my position that this man with his made-up degrees, does not have the intelligence to know that Washington D.C., is east and Washington state is west; I believe Obama is merely a puppet for a much bigger character. Having said this, it is possible he came up with the plan because it really is not that brilliant. Making it work however, will require some brilliance, but more endurance than brilliance.
Here is the plan...and you heard it here first!!! Obama is hellbent on vilifying Republicans or conservatives in general. He and his cronies are out stumping to shout down anyone who will question what they are doing; and few will. With the media firmly in his camp, by choice or force, conservatives are not given a platform to defend their honor. Those who speak out are shouted down or cut off before they can make their point.
By turning conservatives (politicians and voters) into pariahs, nobody would dare vote for a Republican in 2014. This will give Obama a clear, solid and untouchable House and Senate to push through his every wish, not the least of which will be the end of term limits for the President. This bill is already floating through Congress, so believe me when I tell you, he has a plan! Much like every dictator before him, he will win by popularity until the majority realize what he is doing. By then it will be too late!
Here are some simple facts to help pound it into your head that this man is dangerous and by no stretch, a friend to the poor or to the country as a whole:
1. As our soldiers died in Benghazi, Obama watched in real time from the Sit Room...and did nothing to save them. He then gave aid and comfort to the enemy (Radical Islam), by blaming it on a You Tube Video; an act of treason by any measure!
2. During his campaign, the friend of the poor promised he would not raise any taxes on the poor or middle class. His opposition called him a liar on TV and warned you, the American public, to listen to the facts, not his words. You believed Obama. On January 1, less than 2 months after the election, every working American watched their taxes increase by about $25 dollars, real money, every week. And he promised there is more to come.
3. Your President is creating undue panic in the American people by warning of apocalyptic cuts because the Republicans refused to "compromise" on the budget. First, the country has not had a budget since Obama first took office. He is too busy planning his coupe to worry about little things like budgets. Second, there are no cuts. The cuts we are hearing about are cuts in additional spending which was set to take effect. The departments which you had been warned would not have money to operate, will not see their funding drop a single penny. Only the increased dollars from the current year will not be as great. That is, instead of giving medicaid an 8% increase, for example; they will only recieve a 4% increase. Oh you will see services reduced, but not because they do not have money. It will be because Obama's plan will not move forward unless someone suffers at the hands of nasty Republicans. Just remember, it was his administration that came up with the idea and the plan for sequestration.
4. Taking it further; this President and his party; who care about the less fortunate; have the greatest number of millionaires in the administration; give less than the any current Republican toward charity and the difference will blow your mind; and always seem to punish the poor and middle class. In fact, just today the City of Chicago, under Mayor Emanual; Obama's former chief of staff; announced a cigarette tax increase of $1.00 per pack. The cost of a pack of cigarettes is now up near $10 in Chicago; about $8 of which is tax. It is not a mystery that minorities, poor and/or undereducated are most likely to smoke. This tax will hit these people hard and fast.
Emmanuel can argue that by raising taxes, he will keep more poor people from smoking, but we all know that is not true or none of the homeless and poor would be addicted to crack today.
This is a party that does not care about poor people or any other people for that matter. This is a party and an administration which will plow through mountains to turn our nation into one with little freedom and much government rule. This President has a plan and he is on his way to making it happen. He knows he will succeed because he understands what few others seem to; as long as you throw the dog a bone, it will keep him busy while he ransacks the house. To you, he is a hero that brings you bones. To you, I am a crazy person with a tin foil hat. To the President, when he gets what he wants, you will stop getting them bones. To the President, I am dead...or eventually, when people start listening to me, will be. Either way, no matter how loud I shout, it is as if I were buried alive. Can anybody hear me?

This is a party and an administration which will plow through mountains to turn our nation into one with little freedom and much government rule. This President has a plan and he is on his way to making it happen. He knows he will succeed because he understands what few others seem to; as long as you throw the dog a bone, it will keep him busy while he ransacks the house. To you, he is a hero that brings you bones. To you, I am a crazy person with a tin foil hat. To the President, when he gets what he wants, you will stop getting them bones. To the President, I am dead...or eventually, when people start listening to me, will be. Either way, no matter how loud I shout, it is as if I were buried alive. Can anybody hear me?

Time To Hit Bottom?
"Hitting Bottom", or "Rock Bottom" are terms used to describe the point in an individual's life where things cannot get any worse. It is at this point that people either begin their climb back, or they die - literally or emotionally.
In my life, I knew a person who allowed alcohol to control his life. At first, a group of us would gather for an innocent drink after work. Over several years, this person made alcohol his reason for getting out of bed. He lost his wife and children, fell from his thrown at his job and began to further abuse himself by getting into irresponsible and dangerous relationships. He had hit bottom. His life was crashing down before his eyes. After his old and true friends essentially abandoned him, he was left surrounded with people just like himself. For all intents and purposes, he lost everything!
At this point, his true friends would step up, slap him upside his head and tell him to WAKE UP! If he listened to his friends, he would wake up. If not, he would perish. Because enough of his old, but not-so-true friends remained and continued to enable him, he chose the latter and I watched a good friend and friendship die, spiritually. I do not know where he is today, but this experience taught me long ago that not every store has a happy ending.
Such, is the state of our nation. We are free-falling toward total destruction. As a nation, the United States is about to hit bottom!
We have spent our way into insolvency, we are having our rights stripped from us without a fight, we are being targeted by some of the most dangerous countries on the planet and our hardest working citizens are being taxed into widespread poverty. Our cities are falling into ruins right before our eyes, our morals are being diluted to the point of disgust and obscene behavior and criminal actions are being normalized; even glamorized. We are put into a panic by the media over the flu, something that comes around and kills thousands each year. Yet our President and his administration are killing tens of thousands through punitive and deadly policies; yet nobody seems to care.
We have not hit bottom yet, but it is coming sooner than you think. Yet, while all of this bad stuff is happening around us, people have re-elected this most destructive of all U.S. President's. Figuratively speaking, people are dancing in the streets and have exalted him, not unlike the golden idols in the "Ten Commandments". Sadly, this story will likely end the same way but will take more than 3 hours on Easter Sunday before it is over.
Look at some realities; while this President and his administration are being hailed by 51% of the country:
There are two points to be made. The first, if all of the items shown above had taken place when a conservative was in office, not only would he not have been re-elected, but he would have been impeached and removed from office. The cries would be heard across our nation and rightly so. With our current President however, he is untouchable. It defies logic! The most absurd statement I heard this week was a journalist comparing Obama to Ronald Reagan. Talk about polar opposites. If I could have punched this journalist through my radio, I would have.
The second, and most important point is this. We are approaching rock bottom! Those of you who believe Obama is a god and feel he can do no wrong, will be hit hard too. You are enjoying his promises of turning the U.S. into the land of milk and honey, but the milk is spiked with vinegar and the honey is laced with cyanide.
You are criticizing the conservatives for demanding strong spending cuts and blaming them for the economy, just as you did in the last election. This is what the President wants you to believe and this is what the media reports.
You are screaming for gun control in the wake of recent events, yet the honest people who follow the rules are not committing the crimes. These crimes are being committed by the people who have been enabled through poor parenting, strict government restrictions on child discipline in the home and schools; and the criminalization of God, by government, in our society. Yet the President wants you to believe that firearms are the problem and must go away and this is what the media reports. Remember, Hitler would not have risen to power if German citizens had been armed.
You feel that government should be the nanny to all people - our housing, food, healthcare, education, all of it should be paid by the government though the government does not have money. No problem, you believe by raising taxes on the wealthy, our deficit will come down. There are problems with this theory however. First, if you took all of the money from all of the wealthy people, we would still be unable to erase our deficit. Next, the working stiffs in this country are not going to continue to break there backs to pay oppressive tax bills so the lazy and clueless can sit on their butts watching trash TV.
It is funny how human beings are considered at the top of the food chain, yet humans are the only creatures who rely on others to provide for their well being. In nature, it is every beast for himself - others may give a hand up, such as with a pack of dogs; but nobody gets a handout. In nature, you work or you die.
When you listen to the news, you will hear about the economy improving until the revised numbers are released next month. You will hear about how if it were not for the conservatives, we would be in much better financial shape, yet it was not the conservatives who cancelled the payroll tax cut in January and continue to force fuel prices higher by their restrictive environmental policies. You also hear how the bad conservatives are holding up a deal to prevent massive cuts from taking place on March 1. They are not negotiating, or so it is reported. What you are not hearing is that the liberals will not negotiate on spending cuts, in fact, Harry Reid said himself, "We will not cut any spending!" His words, "Any spending!" I think this says everything about where the fault lies.
Over the next few days and months, we are going to hit bottom. The party will come to an end for all of the disillusion people who believe that Obama squirts milk and spits honey. Obama has been permitted to run the deficit up faster than the past five Presidents, combined. He could do this because the U.S. dollar is the world currency, which allows us to keep printing these, practically devalued, pieces of paper. As the economy worsens though, more and more countries are losing faith in the dollar and more and more countries will stop trading in the dollar. When the time comes that the dollar is no longer the worlds currency, and it is coming; the party will be over and we will hit bottom. The splat will be felt around the world and America's dominance will come to a crashing end!
This will bring the U.S. to third world status and lives will be changed in ways nobody can imagine. The people who believe they are poor today and expect the government to provide them with free air conditioning and smartphones, will learn what poor really means.
Fellow American's, this is the man you elected. Your greed allowed you to follow and elect a false god, an idol. You will soon learn that the President is not a god, nor and idol. You will learn what some of us already know, he is neither a true American or a true friend of the Constitution. He will not be here to pick us up when we hit bottom, but God willing, there will be a true friend who will.

- We are going into the 5th year of the worst economy in our history.
- We are going into our 5th year of the highest sustained fuel prices in our history.
- Every working person watched their taxes jump in January by an average of $25 per week after being told by this President during the campaign, 2 months earlier, that he would not tax the middle class.
- We have vilified the right for good, honest, people to own firearms and will likely eliminate the right all together.
- We have watched our soldiers massacred while trying to protect an embassy in Benghazi, while our President knowingly watched...and did nothing.
- We have permitted a man who refuses to prove his citizenship at birth, to hold the highest office in our land; a direct violation of our Constitution!
- We have watched this administration hand guns over to drug cartels in Mexico for free, only to have them used against our Federal Law Enforcement Officers, or sold to gang bangers on our city streets.
- We have spent our government's resources (tax dollars) irresponsibly, without any accountability, whatsoever!

It's Time To Panic!
We have brought political correctness, mind control, left wing radicalism and the castration of the human male to new lows in our society. From the world of what should be make-believe, comes the story of the 7 year old, suspended from school, ("dispended", as he puts it), for throwing an imaginary grenade in a box to kill evil doers who were out to destroy the world. Alex you see, was a superhero on a mission to save his classmates. It appears that we cannot allow children to use their imaginations, much less play with fake weapons or explosives, even if it is to save the human race. What's more, i guess because I and every guy I have ever known will at some point, become serial killers simply because we played army, cops & robbers, or dare I say, cowboys and indians as kids. Sorry if I offended the army, serial killers, cops, robbers, cowboys or indians. Not really, if you are offended, you need serious help...or a slap upside the head. This, coming from a proud polish, daigo, fat, bald, American!

The Last U.S. President?
Over the past two months America has celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Hanukkah, and all of the fun, eat-till-you-explode holidays. For the past 50 years, I have associated November and December with fun, family, warmth, tradition and food. I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season...and be wary, it may have been one of the last because...
Also within the past two months our nation has re-elected arguably, the worst President this nation has known. America, we are told, chose the man who has destroyed our economy with his policies; to lead us for another four years. Despite having the fresh blood of our soldiers in Benghazi on his hands, we are told the majority of Americans want four more years of this man. Despite the warnings and the red flags raised by every educated person in the country and despite endorsements by China and Mexico, which is a red flag in and of itself; we have "elected" this man for another term.
If you believe this was a fair and honest election, trust me, you are wrong! This was most certainly a bloodless (to this point) coup de tat. It was reported by few and heard by fewer about the many examples of polling place irregularities. Voters who had selected Mitt Romney saw Barack Obama's name pop up. How many voters did not notice? What other irregularities existed that we may never know about? It doesn't matter, we are where we are today and can only prepare for what is yet to come. I truly believe this may be the last elected President on our nation's soil. Now before you discount this as a wacky conspiracy theory, let's turn up the light and take a good close look.
I can take the easy way out and tell you to speak with someone between 60 - 90 years old, who immigrated from communist Europe. They will all tell you that what has been happening since this man took office is frighteningly similar to what they experienced before their countries were overthrown. I challenge anyone to bring forward one person who grew up in the Soviet Union, Communist Poland, Mussolini's Italy or Castro's Cuba; who would disagree with this statement.
I can also take the easy way out by suggesting you read up on how Hitler rose to power in Nazi Germany. The scary thing is that the people of Germany had America to free them from Hitler's tyranny. We will have nobody.
Now you ask, why would I forward such an unbelievable prophecy? Well, there is nothing prophetic about it, you only need to watch what has happened over the past four years, and more disturbingly, over the past two months...
During his "victory" address, Barack spoke of creating a "perfect" nation. A free nation will never be perfect and Barack knows this. As always, his words were deliberate and frankly, to many Americans, threatening. A perfect nation was Hitler's objective as well.
Obama's reaction to the recent and tragic shootings is another clear example. We all despise these senseless acts and I would guess that most of us, if armed, would make certain nothing like this tragedy would ever happen again. We also know that guns do not kill people. However, for the President's plan to gain traction, he must pump fear into the souls of everyone. As with Hitler, an armed nation only slows the progression of Obama's dictatorship.
The President and the media made it a point to tell us that these guns were legally owned by the killer's mother. This is how they justify their position that guns, even legally owned, are as dangerous as the stolen guns used by gang-bangers. The fact is, the mother knew her son was sick. She knew what he was capable of and it was her responsibility to secure the guns, or her unstable son. She failed on both counts and paid the ultimate price, as did the killer and 26 innocent people. I find it strange however that we have seen many weekends where Chicago has lost more than 26 innocent lives, including children, at the hand of thugs with illegal guns, why is this not an issue?
Following the shooting, Obama took to the air and told us, "Make no mistake", he often warns us not to make mistakes which are not tolerated in a perfect society; "I will take whatever actions are necessary to make sure..." Then he threatened Congress not to get in his way. At that time, I said that in keeping with his dictatorial leaning, this man would circumvent Congress and use Executive Order to eventually ban all guns though he may start with assault weapons.
This week, the media and blogs were abuzz with Biden's statement that the President will use Executive Orders to enact "some type of anti-gun legislation", all in the name of our children's safety. We already know the democrats are experts at using the elderly and children to pass just about anything they desire. This was the hidden warning that the President will once again piss on the constitution, wave it in our face and tell us to F-off.
I also began to see another trend taking place since the election, leading me to say to a friend during a conversation, I predict this President will oversee the repeal of the 22nd amendment, allowing him to run for another term. Low and behold, I read today that house democrats have introduced a bill to repeal the 22nd amendment. The last President to win a third term was FDR, who is today hailed as the man who pulled us out of the depression with his New Deal. The New Deal basically took money from the working people to create government jobs. Sound familiar?. An economy cannot survive when the only jobs available are government jobs. Two facts about FDR and his New Deal. First, FDR had admittedly considered becoming a dictator but backed down. Eleanor was pushing him to do this. Rest assured, Michelle is pushing Barack to do the same and Barack does not need much pushing, considering his radical past. The other fact is it was war which brought us out of the depression, not the New Deal.
What's next? I expect over the next two years, the 22nd amendment will be repealed and Barack will run for another term. He will spend the next four years doing what he did his last four years, campaigning, scaring people into thinking they will not survive without government ruling over every aspect of their lives and promises of utopia. He will work to convince a very selfish, greedy and stupid American populous that we need him and a stronger government to protect us from ourselves and the nasty boogy man next door, who may be a Christian and a gun owner. Once he has people worried enough about their safety, he will convince them that he is the only one who can protect them. From that point, the country will be his for the taking and the constitution will burn.
Again, I am not a witch or a psychic, this is like watching a history book come to life.
What does all this mean? For young people (30 or younger), it will not mean much. They do not want to work as hard as their parents or grandparents. They are content to give all of their rights away for a scrap of food and a warm blanket, as long as it is the government paying for it. These people do not understand that I, you and they are the government. At least this is still true today.
For those of us who are older, we will have a few options. Adjusting will be difficult for people like me because we love our freedom and know how our fathers and grandfathers sacrificed and put their lives on the lines to keep us free. Yet, for the sake of survival, many will adjust to a much different lifestyle, in an America much different than the America of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.
As for me, I love my America and I will not be silenced while I am alive. As General John Stark wrote, "Live Free or Die" will be more than just words we recollect over a beer. I only pray that there are enough people who will stand with me against the pending end to our freedom. As we know with the person who produced the video which had been blamed for Benghazi, this administration has a way of making people disappear. Let me be clear, I am not promoting any act of violence. I am only encouraging the masses to use their words to save our nation, our constitution and our sovereignty. As an individual, I can and possibly will be stopped from speaking out for freedom. However, if 50 million people just say no to government taking our freedom, the President as arrogant as he is, may realize that we are not a nation of lemmings and we will not be led down this path.
We are Free! We are Proud! We are faithful to our God and protective of our Constitution and willing to die for both! We are Americans! May God Bless America!
